A 34-year-old woman has finally wedded her Fiancé of nine years after she has paid her bride price on his behalf.
The New bride identified as Zuku revealed she’s a graduate with three qualifications, and her parents have vowed to increase her Bride price and collect a lot of money from her husband.
She also stated that she knew her husband could not afford the bride price, so she decided to help him with it since she earns more than him.
According to Zuku, she said that her Fiancé initially objected to the idea but eventually gave in and accepted the help. The bride, while sharing their story on News24, said
“We dated for almost nine years before tying the knot. I’m from a Xhosa background, and my parents have always made it clear that they’re going to request a hefty amount of lobola because I’m an engineer with three qualifications and one of them being from an internationally acclaimed university. So, I always knew lobola would be a thing and basically had no choice.
“My husband didn’t support the idea and declined my offer, but it just made so much sense. His family would be paying so much for the wedding ceremonies and gifting my family.
“I also earned more than him and was in a position to come up with the lobola money. At the time, he felt emasculated but in hindsight; it made more financial sense for both of us and the life we were about to build together.” She said.

Friendship and relationship are two different things. The things that are not working during mutual attachment can not work during a relationship. that is why it is necessary to start any relationship with anyone with friendship then taking it to the next level.
Most times when I tell friends and family that I value friendship most times more than intimate, there is a question I usually receive that is;
Does friendship matter before the relationship? Can’t I get into a relationship first before becoming the person’s friend?
Well, you can still start a relationship before friendship. the fact is that most of them do end in tears because you will go and see the kind of lifestyle you never expected and that occurs because you knew nothing about him and his ways of life.
But note this, a man or a lady who isn’t qualified to be your friend can’t be your wife or your husband. The enemy you know is better than the friend you don’t know.
Friendship has a lot and a huge role to play in your relationship.
Now let’s see the advantages
WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD FRIENDSHIP BEFORE RELATIONSHIP
• Friendship brings freedom: there are something’s you can’t do with your lover or in the presence of someone you call your lover, but you can say it or do it in front of your best friend.
• Secrets Shared: You can’t hide everything from your friend, but you can hide almost if not everything from your lover.
• You will get to know the real person. The atmosphere for fakeness is less than in a relationship.
• You will know his likes. One of the things that are just necessary for a relationship is “compatibility” No matter what you do nor try if you and your partner are not compatible, then there is no forever hope for the relationship nor marriage.
THEREFORE WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU CAN BE COMPATIBLE WITH
2. The way he/she treats family: it is very easy for one to fake to be very caring and loving during a relationship, but hard to fake during friendship and marriage. that’s why you will easily hear people saying “he was not like this when I married him”, “If I knew you were this wicked, I couldn’t have married you, woman” etc.
Now in things like this, if you want to find out, you will discover that most of them just started from a date to a relationship, then marriage.
More than half (1/2%) percent of women, that are in a relationship today, can do the undo just to keep their man, and no matter how you fake the relationship/marriage, it won’t last.
Note: “When you use fakeness to keep a relationship, you will use fakeness to maintain it”. Apst. Jordan Akada.
Yes, from friendship into relationship is very important as it is going to help you and your partner to grow together in love, understanding, and unity.
It will also help you both to understand that being a grown up does not mean that you are above fun in the home like example pillow fighting,playing of cards, games etc.
many of these can only occur if there is friendship between you two in the relationship.
From my research, I will say yes to this, and what is your own view? Love is not always constant, it can always fate away, and if no understanding, the relationship dies. Now understanding Can only occur if friendship was already on the ground.
Friendship keeps your relationship/marriage lively. Lively in this aspect means fun and entertaining. So if you want to have a good and happy relationship, start with friends so that you can deal with and sort out what is necessary before you step into the relationship.
Lovers can always come and go but friendship stands a taste of time.
friendship and relationship is very important in marriage.
Now i ask, friendship and relationship, which one do you prefer to exist first?

She further highlighted some of the things she endured with Alex, from his cheating to his lies and lots more. But for him to make her constantly apologize to him is wrong. In her words she wrote;
“No I won’t. Alex has succeeded in trying to ruin me and my reputation just because I left him. Grace you slightly know me I’m calm quiet dance, play work, and mind my business. I endured everything a Nigerian women typically does from her man which is lies and all the cheating etc.
But to make me apologize constantly publicly. It is WRONG! I never revealed why I left. I never bashed him. I only said sorry for making a statement. I am someone’s child, someone’s future wife. I need to speak up for myself. Don’t tell me to stop. Silence is why many people are depressed. Alex needs to stop is manipulation! His ego and wanting me to say sorry all the time is a problem NOT me! Everytime I’ve made its a statement is because of HIM! Don’t tell me to stop. Tell him”.

• Woman reveals why she rejected her baby daddy’s marriage proposal after dating for 8 years.
when love happens is one of my original play.
There lived three friends Mike, Moses and Miracle (M3).
Mike was tall, chocolate skin and muscular, Moses was cute but
short, Miracle was fair, tall and slim.
These three have been friends since childhood that everybody
who knew them started calling them M3.
M3 were so closed that they never wanted to separate from one
another even their parent never tried to separate them.
M3 have been together until university level.
In the university, Mike studied computer science, Moses
marketing while Miracle studied Law.
At the end of their study year, Mike was able to obtain a master
degree scholarship to study in India best Institution of
Technologies.
Miracle was called to bar immediately he completed his education
and Moses went into digital marketing businesses.
Few years later, Mike was through with his Masters and decided
to come back to the country.
Even when his parent asked him to stay over there and start a life
maybe go for doctoring, he said No.
On reaching the country, he now decided to bring up a business
idea during his sit out with his friends. Which they all agreed to it.
A month later, Mike being good in his field, decided to build a site
with the niche m3gist and later shared
responsibilities between his friends.
Moses was in charge of the marketing, advertisement, promotions
etc.
Miracle was in charge of the latest trending in national and
international news and Mike was in charge of the maintenance
and also programming tutor.
A year later, their m3gist website started gaining popularity they
then went further and rented a building to use as a company.
With this, they started helping people running local businesses in
their city by registering their businesses, products with m3gist for
advert.
Mike, Moses, Miracle founders of m3gist marketing group of
companies was recognized all over the world.
Mike being the brain behind m3gist, tall and handsome guy, he
could get any lady he decides with that, he believed that there is
nothing like love without money.
His friends tired talking him out of his flirting life style but it was
in vain.
One day they were having lunch in a restaurant when a lady
walked up to their table and said “Hello handsome” when they
looked up Mike discover that she was referring to him so he
looked at his friends and later turned around and smile at the
lady and said, “Hello beautiful”.
Am Sandra she said and I’m Mike. So, Mr. Mike do you mind we
speaking on phone?
Then handed over her card to Mike before Mike could respond.
Then he said sure who with his right senses wouldn’t call a
beautiful damsel like you. They both smile and held hands for a
minute then left.
(Immediately she left)
Mike discovered that his friends were starring at him with surprising eyes, he then laughed and said what?
Am I the one that went for that one or she came to me? Guys see
that’s life, when you are tall, cute and rich, love is very simple to get.
Miracle: (to mike) you better be careful because being cute and
rich does not prevent disease when it comes knocking.
(they all laughed and started eating their launch)
Miracle was really disturbed by his friend’s life style he then
decided to discuss it with Moses so that they can make a plan on
how to make him stop.
(That evening, they went to Mike’s apartment while chatting and
watching India love movies, an idea came into Moses head and he
spoke out)
Mike, have you ever stick with one lady up to a month before?
Moses asked.
On hearing the question, Mike laughed, Of course not… why
should I be wasting my time
while there are other ladies out there waiting for their own share
of this (he touched his body).
Miracle and Moses decided to use his statement to their own
advantage knowing very well that Mike doesn’t like losing to
anyone when it comes to challenges.
So they said Mike if you date a particular lady for at least two
months, we will give you 10% of our share of the company.
But he laughed then stir at them and said you are kidding? Then
he discovered that they were not smiling so he said, you guys are
not kidding?
We are serious but it’s okay, we already knew you can’t do it.
(he was mute for some minutes)
He said, but two months is too much now….
Miracle: So do you agree or you are backing out?
Mike: No I agree, perhaps 10% from you both will go a long way.
But I got to choose the lady I want. Do you guys agree with me?
Miracle and Moses: (both agreed) you are the boss.
